About the journal
The International Journal of General Systems is a crossdisciplinary periodical devoted primarily to the publication of original research contributions to systems science, basic as well as applied. However, relevant tutorial and survey articles, book reviews, bibliographies, and letters to the editor are also published. The principal aim of the journal is to promote original systems ideas (concepts, principles, methods, insightful theoretical or experimental results, etc.) that transcend the boundaries between traditional academic disciplines. The term "general systems" in its name is intended to indicate this aim the orientation to systems ideas that have a general applicability. Some typical subjects covered by the journal include: systems modeling, simulation, and design; systems complexity and simplification methods; crossdisciplinary systems problem solving; and theoretical as well as experimental knowledge regarding various categories of systems, such as hierarchical, cellular, adaptive, self-organizing, learning, autopoietic, self-producing, intelligent, etc.
Instructions to Authors
Manuscripts. All submissions will be subject to the normal process of peer review. Please submit three copies of your manuscript, typed on one side of the paper and double spaced, as well as an electronic version on disk (see below) to the Editor-in-Chief: Prof. G. J. Klir, Department of Systems Science and Industrial Engineering, Thomas J. Watson School of Engineering and Applied Science, State University of New York, Binghamton, New York 13902-6000, U.S.A. Contributors should note that material submitted to the journal must be original, must not have already appeared in another publication and must not be submitted for publication elsewhere while under consideration by the journal.
The title of the paper and the author(s) name(s) should appear at the beginning of the paper. All pages of the manuscript must be numbered. All manuscripts should include full correspondence details (street address, telephone, fax and email addresses) of the corresponding author. Manuscript Length: The maximum preferred length is 7500 words. Language: English only. Abstract: Each paper requires an abstract of approximately 150 words. Keywords: Please include three to six keywords, which, as a group, should characterize the paper.
Please make sure your contact address information is clearly visible on the outside of all packages you are sending to Editors.
Disk submissions. Authors should send the final, revised version of their article in both hard copy (paper) and electronic (disk) forms. It is essential that the hard copy (paper) version exactly matches the material on disk. Please print out the hard copy from the disk you are sending. Submit three printed copies of the final version with the disk to the journal's editorial office. Save all files on a standard 3.5-inch high-density disk. We prefer to receive disks in Microsoft Word (PC format), but can translate from most other common word-processing programs as well as Macs. Please specify which program you have used. Do not save your files as "text only" or "read only".
Tables and figures. Tables must be typed on separate sheets and not included as part of the text. The captions to illustrations should be gathered and typed on a separate sheet. Tables should be numbered by Roman numerals and figures by Arabic numerals. The approximate position of tables and figures should be indicated in the paper. Please supply clear copies of artwork (preferably the originals) for figures in a finished format suitable for reproduction. Figures will not normally be redrawn by the publisher. The author(s) must arrange permission for the reproduction of illustrations and tables within articles. Figures may be sent electronically, preferably in either TIFF (tagged image format) or EPS (encapsulated Postscript) formats. However, we can also accept PICT or JPEG formats.
Colour Pages. There are a limited number of colour pages within the annual page allowance. However, authors should restrict their use of colour to situations where it is necessary on scientific, and not merely cosmetic, grounds. In addition, authors may pay to publish colour illustrations, but please consult the publisher regarding cost before submission.
References. These should be indicated in the text by the Harvard system (name and date). The full list of references should be collected at the end of the paper in alphabetical order and should be complete in all details. Article titles should be enclosed in quotation marks and the titles of journals may be abbreviated. The initials of the authors should be placed after their names and the year of publication placed in parentheses before the title.
